A Canadian ETF Simulated Trading Competition Offers $40,000 in Prizes, Risk Free. Here’s How You Could Become Its Biggest Winner Yet.

If you’ve ever imagined yourself as a top trader, now is your chance! Global X, one of Canada’s largest and longest-running ETF providers, is bringing back its simulated ETF trading competition, the Biggest Winner, for its 14^th year. Now, rebranded as the BetaPro Biggest Winner, this year, we’re upping the stakes with bigger cash prizes and an enhanced trading experience to give Canadians a risk-free opportunity to hone and showcase their investing skills.

The competition runs from September 15, 2025, to October 26, 2025, but you can register today to stay up to date ahead of it.

For the BetaPro Biggest Winner, we’ve partnered with Webull Canada*, the dynamic, self-direct brokerage known for its powerful trading tools and charts, real-time market data, and mobile first user experience. In addition to its simulated trading experience, Webull users can trade and access 10,000+ stocks and ETFs, US options, TFSA and RRSP accounts, and more. Webull is a Nasdaq-listed, global platform that empowers over 24 million registered users to manage and execute their investment strategies. Learn more about Webull.

Last year’s cash prizes totalled just over $20,000 for the winners. This year, we’ve DOUBLED the amount of prizes to be won to over $40,000! The BetaPro Biggest Winner will walk away with an impressive $20,000 cash prize. Second and third-place traders will also see substantial rewards, pocketing $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. Additionally, we’re giving away $1,000 every single week to the top performer, so even consistent performers have plenty of opportunities to win big. There are also weekly draws for active participants.

One of the greatest advantages of BetaPro’s Biggest Winner competition is the risk-free learning environment it provides. Seasoned investors and newcomers alike can explore leveraged strategies, sharpen their skills, and discover new approaches without any downside risk. It’s not only about winning prizes, though those are certainly appealing, but also about refining your trading strategies, gaining experience, and preparing for real-world investing.

The BetaPro Biggest Winner is proudly sponsored by the Toronto Stock Exchange and CBOE Canada – Canada’s exchanges that offer ETF listings and trading. With their support, participants have the freedom to trade any of the over 1,500 ETFs offered by 45 providers listed in Canada. Whether you’re bullish on tech, bearish on energy, or have your unique approach, the possibilities and portfolio combinations are nearly endless for you to find your winning strategy.

Heard of leveraged, inverse and inverse leveraged ETFs? Growing in popularity, these tactical ETF tools can help amplify daily performance and offer a bold strategy for making outsized moves in volatile markets. Historically, these ETFs have been used by past winners of the BetaPro Biggest Winner competition to secure victory. The Canadian leveraged ETF market has grown to $1.8 billion in assets under management (AUM), with the number of products available jumping from just 34 last year to 50 in 2025 alone. Daily traded volumes have surged, regularly surpassing $300 million, underscoring Canadians’ growing enthusiasm for these powerful financial tools.

With the recent launch of 3X and -3X ETFs in Canada, traders now have even more options to choose from. Leveraged and inverse leveraged ETFs, like those available through our BetaPro by Global X ETF suite, are available for BetaPro Biggest Winner participants to trade in our risk-free, simulated environment.

In last year’s competition, Simon Bolton-Smith from White Rock, British Columbia, took home the top prize and the title of ‘The Biggest Winner’, by earning a six-week cumulative return of 27.25% on his portfolio.

Simon is no stranger to the Biggest Winner Simulated Trading Competition: in 2017 and again in 2021, he placed second and earned the runner-up prize. After nearly a decade of participation, Simon finally achieved the grand title of “Biggest Winner.”

For Simon, his key to success was recognizing the interrelationships between commodities and their price movements. To achieve his returns, he rotated in and out of long and short commodity ETFs, taking entry and exit points supported by broader market trends into consideration.

“My specific trading strategy involved a focus on commodity-focused leveraged and inverse leveraged BetaPro ETFs, which allowed me to effectively capture positive and inverse price movements in the oil and natural gas segments of the marketplace,” said Mr. Bolton-Smith. “The BetaPro ETFs are a great way to enhance any investment portfolio as a broad range of market segments are covered.”

If you’ve been looking for a sign to get serious about trading, this is it. Compete against traders across Canada, leverage your insights, and claim your share of the more than $40,000 in cash prizes.
